"To have good mental health, a person should think of at least three options to consider in any given situation," Cathy Paulsen.
Yesterday we went back to the podiatrist for a recheck on that infected toe. Good news: the bone does not seem to be infected and the toe will not need to be removed. And, more good news: the podiatrist trimmed Dwane's toenails and can do that every nine weeks --- and Medicare pays for it! I had no idea that a podiatrist would trim toenails, nor that Medicare would pay for it. What a wonderful solution to this problem! The result was so much better than when the home health nurse tried to trim them.
Consider this medical service for the person for whom you provide dementia caregiving. A great solution to one more task that befalls us.
